High School Educators Summer Conference July 13 - 20, 2005

CWIL supports faculty and students active participation with groups and organizations at the national and local level that are working for intercultural understanding in efforts to increase the abilities, ambition, and success of future leaders. Key to this goal, and in the tradition of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, is the cooperation between educators at various levels, and in particular the joining of high school and college faculties and student bodies. In this way Saint Mary’s College is a mentor for other educational institutions in their efforts to form the next generation of women to be empowered leaders in an increasingly diverse society.

These programs contribute to CWIL’s goal of recruiting young women from across the nation because the participants recognize “Saint Mary’s College as a place where they can become fully empowered leaders in an increasingly diverse society.”
